This is just typical enterprise "use AI" infrastructure, not hyper specialized drug research.

As a first step, what do you want? Would you rather live your life in peace, bettering the controllable world around you? Or would you rather live your life in stress and action and possibly fixing the problem?

I chose one of those for myself and can't blame anyone for choosing differently. They're both valid.

From one of the GP comments, it's about preserving the petrodollar and reserve currency status as a whole. That's a way wider scope than a few companies. P

Correlation or causation? The article doesn't specify whether the subjects' brain sizes were measured prior to the study.

Saw this in a PR review yesterday. Reviewer made comments about the reasonableness of a solution and alternatives to consider. Submitter posted an LLM response that gives zero additional context about the PR. As the submitter, you should be the one with the context, not the reviewer, and having an LLM answer doesn't provide that additional context.

International men's day isn't a thing in the US either, so that's not surprising. Contrast to Mother's/Father's Day, which are.

At a basic levels, access layers should be aware of operations that are Read-only and operations that are Write/Delete. It should be easy to give agents access to read anything, then require permission/prompt to execute any state changing operations.

> which has been debunked

That is, unfortunately, not an argument. To apply your line of thinking to the OP, would you say that "children displaying Tourette's symptoms from watching a YouTuber is a reversal of cause and effect"? The OP does not make that conclusion, and most of this comment section accepts that as well. I, like GP, would be interested to hear how this would be reconciled.

Not all scientific discussion is pleasant to hear, but it would be worth discussing, even if flagged and down voted, rather than "We were always at war with Eurasia".

Or because it's a controversial topic and GP is worried about being taken as offensive but still would like to make their point.

Compare to an extreme example of a market selling one watermelon for 5 dollars, and 5 watermelons for 15. Sure, the latter is a better deal, but I definitely have no use for more than one melon, and the arbitrage opportunity is not worth my time. In the same sense, I and many others do not need more than 1 deodorant at a time and I would rather save my space.
